‘March for the Alternative’ - 26th March - London
- Thread starter fractionMan
- Start date
Part of me is pleased that the Black flag mob have gone on the rampage today and I cannot imagine to many people shedding tears when they saw those banks getting smashed up.
I could have bought into this notion of the main march and rally meaning something important if they had not allowed that prat Milliband and numerous other NLW's to use it to just carry on playing the same political game that has got us in this shit in the first place.
It was truly sickening to see his cuntish little speech especially given his role in the previous Labour regime and for me him being allowed to speak like totally devalued the whole day, at least from the offical part of it.
But those people in masks smashing the s*** out of the banks and so on represented at least in my eyes a far more genuine and honest anger than that other load of staged party political bollocks at Hyde Park.
Give me the honesty of UK uncut and other such groups any day of the week. I doubt I would agree with them on almost anything but at least they are have a genuine passion that can be respected.

So many particulars. So many questions.
at one point we I strolled past a confused looking man standing by his BMW in the middle of the road. Next time I glanced he was smiling and had a sticker on his forehead

Good post. I was thinking the same on miliband, opportunistic fucker, if he was in govt he'd be doing the same no doubt, wouldn't trust that cunt at all.

Some photos here
We counted 12 riot police vans zooming past us when we were heading to Hyde Park, I think they were going toward the fire in Oxford Circus?

Aye, great march. I even heckled Milly Band. When is the next demo?

The wheels on the bus go round and round....
Was working, so couldn't make it, but I've had the news on in the background all afternoon, Sky News showed a bit of Libyan TV reporting it was an anti-war march.

I saw that legend
I did have to remonstrate with someone carrying a banner calling clegg a pleb. I informed him that clegg was an ex 28k a year schoolboy and as plebian as a golden turd. Like the cunt that I am I wished him a good day and carried on having satisfied the niggling annoyance that had been at me for half an hour marching behind him

There's some good trolling to be had on Hannan's blog

Well, I haven't heard from butchers since 4.30 pm.
Hello Geri - I hope he's alright and that he gives you a call soon. You missed a good day out; my daughter was most impressed with the whole thing, especially the 'balaclava people'.
Cheers and take care - Louis MacNeice

Funny how Sky's numbers don't tally with the BBC's. I wonder why that is?
Who's up for a visit to Wapping and Isleworth?

overheard spanish people in the metro talking about how impressive the demo was. Made me proud

real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
Crispy posting
great day out
seeing the march lined up along the embankment, as far as the eye could see from westminster bridge. awe inspiring
lots of 'normal people' not just the unions
samba bands, bicycle sound systems, carnival atmosphere at times
we peeled off and followed a soundsystem. saw lots of aftermath of the balaclava people, paint everywhere. a rather cack-handed police surge and subsequent retreat outside the ukuncut Fortnum & Mason occupation.
as the light fell and the balaclavas settled into the police fighting, we retired to the pub and watched it all unfold from a birds eye view on tv.
agree with the above - couldnt stand going to hyde park to see ed fucking milliband, but the 'genuine anger' seemed to me at least to be the standard black-clad anarkid brigade breaking shit cos it's the man's shit and.... yeah... grrrrr I'm gonna break some shit. i feel angry, but i don't believe for a second that throwing paint at a shop is going to make any difference whatsoever to the inequalities and injustices that inspire that anger. discuss

It might have a slight chance of making more of a difference than sitting in a pub watching it on TV and pontificating about it on the interwebs
